Uniform MoO 2 @C hollow nanospheres were facilely synthesized through a soft-templated hydrothermal method. This approach effectively integrates material fabrication and carbon coating into one step. Due to their unique structure characteristics, the resulting MoO 2 @C hollow nanospheres exhibited superior lithium-ion storage properties. Uniform MoO 2 @C hollow nanospheres are facilely fabricated through a hydrothermal process, and exhibit superior lithium-ion storage properties.
